Death by Burrito: Mexican street food to die for

Product Information

We’ve always wanted to find a way to bring the Rebel Dining Society experience to a wider audience and think that with Death by Burrito we’ve cracked it. Like Cornish pasties for warmer climes, a way to keep your meat and two safe as you sweat away the day – and often heir to the same culinary ills. If burritos and imaginative cocktails fill you with joy, a trip to Hoxton might be a very good idea. The burrito as we know it is actually Californian-Mexican, invented in San Francisco, and almost all London versions are carb-fest roll-ups — a swollen mass of mostly beans and rice, with a speckling of meat. She sprinkles it into most things she cooks, while her husband is so enamoured of it that he coats his crisps in the stuff.

Wooden booths line one side, propped up on a platform and behind a banister, while a long bar hugs the adjacent wall.

The grill’s food includes braised pork belly burritos and baja fish tacos served with Death By Burrito’s special deconstructed guacamole and blue corn chips, lobster ceviche, grilled octopus and poblano crepes. This means there is a reputation preceding the (Death by) burritos now being served up at Catch in Shoreditch. A few of them were encouraged (or not scared off) by me as I brandished my burrito at them, nodding, as they read the menu on the glass. London does, after all, seem to be in a permanent state of salivation over junk food at the moment and this — the latest place to take a street-food-style meat sandwich and stick it in a restaurant — is a new venture by the Rebel Dining Society.
